Profile/Madera Tour

Hey guys,

I'm down in Florida visiting family and had the chance to check out the Profile/Madera factory in St. Petersburg. They run an awesome company and know how to make some great parts. Big Thanks to Matt Coplon for giving me the tour of the shop as well as showing me around Tampa!

The journey for the hubs began here, where the tubing was selected and cut.


Then to the CNC machine. Random info: it takes about 7 minutes to machine your Profile hub shell.


Profile's Acustic stems after step one


Profiles new race hub with approximately one million points of engagement. AKA It's fast.


Hub Shells back from the local anodizer, waiting to be assembled.


Vintage Cranks getting ready for packaging


Matt Coplon juggling more phone lines and orders than I can count


One of things I found super cool is all of the scrapes from the shop are recycled so as little as possible goes to waste. (yes, those barrels are all filled with titanium shavings).


Now go buy some Madera/Profile parts at the shop!
